The coaching change in Ann Arbor earlier this month took Michigan out of the race for Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha defensive tackle Darian Cooper, but only temporarily. This weekend Cooper used his final official visit on the Wolverines.

The 6-3, 275-pound Cooper decided late last week that he would visit Michigan on the final weekend before National Signing Day. An in-home visit with defensive coordinator Greg Mattison convinced the three-star prospect to check out the Wolverines before making a decision.
